Often times you go to the market and you pick up herbs and they are in a plastic bag and
that's fine to get them home, but they are not going to stay fresh as long with this
trick. When you get home, you are going to take your herbs and give them a good rinse
off in the sink and you are going to shake off the extra moisture and you are going to
pat them dry on a paper towel. You are going to take the rest of your herbs and you are
going to get rid of all the wasted stem. Just give it a good twist and you are going to
tuck it in a nice glass of water. You can use glass, plastic or whatever. Fill it about
half-way with water and you are going to tuck the stem ends of your herbs into and keep
it fresh. Isn't that beautiful. You can use this as a centerpiece even when you are entertaining
or on the counter just to enjoy the fragrance. Otherwise to make them last longer, put them
back in your refrigerator, keep them with lots of air around them and they will last
up to at least a week.
